Leaving Me Behind by Sigal Ehrlich

He was supposed to be a personal challenge. A Spanish
lover – younger and sinfully attractive. A daring, wild experience for one
night.My liberation from my self-oppressed lifestyle was planned out carefully down
to the last detail.Everything except . . . HIM.

I didn’t see it coming, not by a long shot. My plan was safe. I was going to
quit my job, say goodbye to the restraints of the life I had known, and follow
my dreams.
I rented a house halfway across the globe in an exotic Spanish town on the
coast. I made some new friends. I reveled in luscious food and a stunning
landscape. Most of all I savored my new found freedom.
That is until I met HIM.

It was supposed to be a night of lost inhibitions, soon to become a sweet
memory. That was my plan.

“A warm
shiver trails from the very top of my arms all the way to my toes as his hands
gently move to hold my shoulders. Slowly, they trail down, rising my skin in
their wake. My breath is held and everything inside me springs tight when his
body presses just enough for mine to absorb his warmth and to feel the firmness
that I recently learned is part of him. He brushes my hair over my shoulder
with his chin. A tidal wave of heat spirals below my waist once his warm, minty
breath hovers closely, and his bristled cheek softly grazes my flushed one.

He halts
for a long moment.

“What are
you doing?” I croakily breathe.

“Waiting
for you to stop me.” His voice is rasp and low and reaches to every single part
of my alert body.

My heart
and mind speed at a hazardous velocity while I struggle for my next move. The
last thing I want is for him to stop. I don’t say a word but blatantly press
back against him, resting my head on his drumming chest. It’s less of a spoken
consent and more of a silent agreement. Whatever is starting between us is
happening nonetheless, with my undeniable blessing.”
